Chapter 674: A twisted personality with similar characteristics, shedding the elite shell and the pu
Let’s put aside the off-field turmoil for now.
As Chico Balentin and Toyama Kintaro finished their brief but meaningful conversation, their expressions instantly became solemn.
They held the tennis rackets tightly in their hands, as if the rackets were their powerful weapons in the competition.
With steady and firm steps, they walked towards the stadium one by one. Every step revealed their importance and determination to the game. Their figures gradually lengthened in the sunlight, and their firm outlines seemed to be telling of the upcoming fierce battle.
Attention turns to the Swiss U-17 team.
Beichuan stood on the sidelines, a smile with a slight arc slowly appearing on the corner of his mouth. That smile seemed to contain scrutiny and expectations of his opponent.
He stared at the two players from the Free State U-17 team with a sharp gaze, with a complex light flashing in his eyes, as if he was assessing the opponent's strength, and as if he was thinking about how to deal with it.
Then, he slowly shifted his gaze to Tokugawa Kazuya and Sanada Genichirō.
"Come on, seniors."
Beichuan's voice was clear and powerful, full of encouragement.
"This is the first time you two will be teaming up as a doubles team to showcase your talents and abilities on the world stage."
His words are like a warm spring breeze, conveying trust and expectations.
Upon hearing this, Tokugawa Kazuya and Sanada Genichirō nodded heavily in unison.
The nodding action was firm and powerful, as if declaring their determination and belief to the world.
This game is of great significance to Tokugawa Kazuya.
With the firm belief of defeating Byodoin Phoenix and Kitagawa, he went through countless challenges and hardships along the way.
As time passed, he gradually grew up through constant confrontation and understanding with his opponents.
He may have been a little immature in the past, but now he has become more mature and steady.
Although the lofty goal in his mind, which was to defeat the Phoenix of Byodoin and the signpost of Kitagawa, had not changed at all, he learned to add practical small goals one by one before this grand goal.
There is no doubt that this game is an important part of his many small goals and a key step on his road to his ultimate goal.
As for Genichirō Sanada, in the glorious history of the Rikkai University Affiliated Junior High School tennis club, his figure was often shrouded in the aura of genius.
That genius was Yukimura Seiichi, known as the "Son of God", as well as Tezuka Kunimitsu, the strong man of Seigakuen, and Kitagawa who later emerged.
Although he joined hands with these geniuses to win two consecutive national championships for the Rikkai University Affiliated Junior High School Tennis Club, and then won the national championship for the third time with Kitagawa, he also achieved his long-cherished wish of defeating Tezuka Kunimitsu.
But deep down in his heart, he longed to be able to move forward side by side with these geniuses rather than always following behind them.
Now, he forms a doubles combination with his teammate Kazuya Tokugawa, with whom he has only been together for less than half a year, and steps onto the court of such an important event.
However, Genichirō Sanada did not have any grudges in his heart.
Just like in the original work, he can cooperate with Keigo Atobe in doubles and even created a unique skill called "Tango Towards Destruction", he believes that he and Kazuya Tokugawa will definitely be able to create dazzling sparks on the court.
This is Genichirō Sanada's unique character, and it is also the way of tennis he has always pursued in his heart.
Between the burning eyes.
Tokugawa Kazuya and Sanada Genichirō strode towards the court with firm belief.
Their steps were neat and powerful, as if announcing to the world their desire for victory.
In the audience.
Tennis reporters and media are busy preparing.
After seeing Kitagawa sit down, Shiba Saori shifted her gaze to Inoue Mamoru.
From what I could see, Inoue Mamoru still focused all his attention on Kitagawa, observing his every move intently.
Seeing this, Shiba Saori couldn't help but sigh softly and said.
"Inoue-senpai, could you please focus a little?"
"Although you are here to inquire about Kitagawa-chan's situation for the Neon U-17 team, please don't ignore the other people who have come out of Neon."
Shiba Saori, who used to be impulsive, has gradually become calmer and more mature in handling things after experiencing the baptism of many competitions.
In sharp contrast, Inoue Mamoru seems to be standing still and even showing signs of regression.
As soon as Shiba Saori finished speaking, Inoue Mamoru reacted immediately.
He looked at Shiba Saori with gratitude, then quickly picked up the camera in his hand and pressed the shutter button rapidly.
At this moment, his eyes flickered with nervousness, and he kept muttering, "I'm really getting old~ I actually had to let Saori remind me."
When Shiba Saori, who was standing by, heard this, she immediately felt upset and got goose bumps all over her body.
She said helplessly.
"Inoue-senpai, admitting you're old isn't a good thing."
As she spoke, she reached out and gently patted Inoue Mamoru's shoulder, as if to comfort this somewhat annoyed senior.
At this moment, players from both sides have already arrived on the court.
For a moment, the four of them stared at each other across the net.
Chico Balentin and Kintaro Toyama of the Free State U-17 team, and Kazuya Tokugawa and Genichirō Sanada of the Swiss U-17 team, exude completely different auras, yet are equally powerful.
The two strong auras collided with each other invisibly, as if an invisible storm was set off in the air, making the air around them tense.
At the same time, the referee on the podium blew the whistle of the game without hesitation. The sound was crisp and loud, echoing throughout the stadium.
“自由国U - 17代表队与瑞士U - 17代表队的U - 17世界杯巡回赛第1场比赛双打二比赛，自由国U - 17代表队发球局，比赛开始！”
As the whistle sounded, Chico Balentin, with his blond hair tied in a ponytail, suddenly showed a bright and confident smile on his face, and he spoke loudly.
"I'm really lucky."
As he spoke, he began to beat the racket in his hand rhythmically.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The sound of the racket hitting the palm is crisp and pleasant.
"Although I really want to share some tennis experiences with you, this is the first match between Freedom and the U-17 team, so we have to have a good start."
"So, my dear foreign friend, get ready to experience the taste of defeat."
In an instant, Chico Balentin suddenly threw the tennis ball in his hand high into the air.
The tennis ball drew a beautiful arc in the air, like a falling star.
Then, with an excited look on his face, he pushed his feet hard, jumped up, and swung the racket in his hand fiercely.
This seems to be a basic serving action, but judging from the explosive power and astonishing speed, this ball has already reached professional level.
